BBL BBL|08 Game 33: Brisbane Heat v Sydney Thunder @ 'Gabba

[Pakenhamsaint]

Yeah, naah. The power requirements would be too much for portable generators. You would need multiple large permanent installations and that would be monstrously expensive

I doubt there is a single stadium in Oz (or anywere) with sufficient backup power to run all the lighting and everything else needed to run at night.

The power needs for all those towers and stadium lights would be huge

The MCG ones use 1800kwh at any given time. I'd imagine the GABBA would be in the same area.

Did bond just say Anton devcich is a Croat? I thought it was Josh mansour?

Mansour is Lebanese

 

[Cleavy]

quick, everyone tweet questions to Ponting and see if we can get an on-air shoutout

 

[eddiesmith]

How convenient the lights have failed after the bash brothers have both failed...

This 3rd world stadium should have all matches removed for 12 months as punishment

 

[Wedge McManus]

Why can't they just play? It's not that dark..FFS remember the old days when Australia Vs Pakistan used to play in murky twilight over there in tests

 

[LukeParkerno1]

We are bowling spinners jeez get out there

This is a farce, but Chris Lynn's cheeky grin is pretty amusing.

I’m suddenly interested in watching the Stars in the WBBL

Loving flemo saying he hopes the energy company are working on it . Deadset all they are doing is tapping on the tower with a spanner to "fix" it

 

[The Speaker]

Hahaha would LOL if Watson doesn’t get to keep his century credited to his stats

A no-result still counts.

 

[Chuckie357]

If I'm Starc I'm doing a lot better for myself tbh.

She probably tells him she where’s long sleeves and gloves and is a keeper.

Don’t know if he could do much better to be honest

 

[The Speaker]

What kind of question was that from Sklethar? "How good is the BBL this year?" What do you think he's going to say???

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Not much the ground can do about it. The way stadiums are designed are exactly like what's happening, only part of stadium loses power. The MCG is exactly the same.

 

[Chuckie357]

The power company is to blame. Game's all finished really.

Wonder if it’s Alinta Energy?

starcy looks alright

I've just been googling the power needs.

Each lamp uses roughly 1, 500 - 2, 000 watts.

Quick count on the tower - over 100 lamps

Plus the lights across the to the stadium roof.

So, if its only one tower and say 50 odd stadium roof lights, thats going to be a big power loss to make up

That the season has gone on too long, there's too many games, like every dunderhead broadcaster I've heard on sports radio?

Wish he'd said shithouse

Ch9 right now

Yeah, not sure why Bond and Watto are (seemingly) going off to the staff and umpires. I'd be pissed too, but it's not their fault, and there's not really much they can do.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

C7 will do anything to avoid showing the bbl.

 

[The Speaker]

It's not safe huh? For who?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

No problem. The guy they're going off at is a mate of mine Darrell Harper, and it wouldn't bother him a bit.

I suspect if the even attempted to use the other side of the ground something would trip fairly quickly. Therefore killing the whole ground.

Alinta’s pretty much a retailer these days right since they shut Port Augusta down.

Energex is the supplier I believe.
